The difference

Where Orlume is stronger than Rocket

  1. 01

    Rocket is built to generate whole apps; Orlume is built to design, so marketing sites and landing pages come out looking finished.

  2. 02

    Orlume's design pass decides hierarchy, type and spacing before code, instead of filling in standard app screens.

  3. 03

    Dream Mode adds animated bento grids and product videos, the sections that sell a product.

When Rocket is the better pick

Choose Rocket when you need an app with many screens and its own logic, including a mobile app, more than a designed website.
